Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types of cookies we use on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences over time, and improve your overall browsing experience. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, and local storage, may be used for the same purposes; for simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies for several reasons: to make our store function properly, to keep it secure, to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors use our site so that we can improve it, and, where you have given your consent, to show you advertising that is more relevant to you. The sections below describe each category of cookie we use in more detail.

3. Categories of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for our store to operate correctly. They enable core functionality such as maintaining your shopping cart, processing your orders, keeping you securely logged in to your account, and protecting the site against fraud and abuse. Because these cookies are essential to the functioning of the site, they do not require your consent and cannot be switched off through our cookie settings.

3.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or region, so that we can provide a more personalised and convenient experience. If you do not allow these cookies, some features or personalisation of the site may not work as intended.

3.3 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter error messages. This information helps us improve how our website works. These cookies are only set with your consent.

3.4 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites with the aim of displaying advertising that is relevant and engaging. They may also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent.

4. Consent and how to manage your preferences

When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to the use of non-essential cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing cookies) through a cookie banner. You are free to accept or decline these cookies, and you can change your mind at any time.

You can review or withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie settings, accessible from our website. In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting cookies already stored on your device. Please note that if you choose to block or delete strictly necessary cookies, parts of our website, such as the shopping cart or checkout, may not function properly.

5. How long cookies stay on your device

Some cookies are "session cookies," which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Others are "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a set period of time, or until you delete them manually, in order to remember your preferences or choices across multiple visits.

6. Your rights

You have the right to decide whether to accept or refuse cookies, and to change your preferences at any time as described in Section 4 above. For more information about your rights regarding your personal data, including how to exercise them, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
